Following the mid-May flood, residents question what could have been done to limit damage and prevent future disasters. The focus is on the Savio river and the Pisciatello stream, which caused significant flooding in Calisese, Case Castagnoli, Ponte Pietra, and Macerone. Sergio Baschetti criticizes the ineffective flood expansion area near the Esquisito bar, which protected farmland but resulted in residential flooding. He notes quick repairs to embankments and concerns about the quality of work, such as the use of sandy soil to support large rocks. Baschetti emphasizes the need for future prevention and riverbed management, fearing that homes near the river may eventually be sacrificed for water flow. He also expresses a desire for more information on prevention and safety activities, rather than a focus on bureaucratic hurdles for reimbursements.

The political group 'Cesena Siamo Noi', with spokesperson Denis Parise, has raised concerns about the planned construction of the new Bufalini hospital in Cesena, Italy. The site is reportedly on unstable clay-rich soil in a flood-prone area with a high water table and requires the relocation of existing water channels and high-tension electrical conduits. The group cites recent flooding in Tuscany that affected hospitals as a warning and criticizes the project's design, which includes separate blocks for care and technology services connected only by an underground corridor, potentially vulnerable to flooding. They urge a reevaluation of the project for a safer and more sustainable solution.

In the aftermath of the flood, various compensation channels for affected parties are being outlined. A meeting in Sarsina discussed these measures, highlighting five calls for applications for agricultural companies to receive compensation. These include state and regional funds, as well as an ordinance signed by General Figliuolo, which extends compensation to appurtenances and second homes, previously not covered. The ordinance also allows for reimbursements for self-conducted repairs by farmers and introduces sample checks for damages up to 40,000 euros, with analytical checks for higher amounts. Applications are to be submitted through the Sfinge platform, expected to be available from November 15.

The Teatro Regio di Torino is heading towards a strike on October 21, the day of the premiere of Giacomo Puccini's 'La Bohème'. The four unions within the opera house - Cgil, Cisl, Uil, and Fials - announced the work stoppage due to a national issue: the failure to renew the national collective contract of the lyrical-symphonic foundations, which has been pending for twenty years. The Regio could become the first Italian theater to strike. The unions have planned a series of strikes affecting the premieres of each Italian theater starting from October 21, to protest against the continuous inequalities and ambiguities in the consideration of the lyrical foundations, which are sometimes public and sometimes private. They are calling for an open and constructive dialogue with the institutions and the category association, Anfols, to reach an agreement.

The labor dispute at the Consortium of the Royal Residences of Savoy intensifies as USB workers, a significant union among the employees of cooperatives at the Reggia di Venaria and other locations, reject a draft agreement proposed by Rear, which is set to take over some reception services from Coopculture starting September 12. The refusal is attributed to issues with the hour bank system, which USB finds disadvantageous for employees. Meanwhile, Filcams Cgil welcomed the draft agreement, showing a divide between the two unions. Regional councilor Francesca Frediani of Unione Popolari is preparing an interpellation on the awarding of the contract to Rear, which was decided on June 20, despite a proposed receivership by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy a few weeks prior.

Carlo Bo, the mayor representing the 88 municipalities of the candidacy, congratulates the winning city L'Aquila but announces that their journey will continue, aiming to build a new cultural model despite not becoming the Italian Capital of Culture.

The migrant reception center in Conetta, a district of Cona (Venice), housed in a former military base, has come under scrutiny following the death of Sandrine Bakayoko, a 25-year-old Ivorian woman who died of a pulmonary thromboembolism. Migrants, nearly 1500, protested loudly, blaming the delayed emergency response and poor living conditions. During the first night of protests, 25 operators from the cooperative Edeco, which manages the center, were held until law enforcement intervened. The latest news reports 100 migrants being transferred to other facilities in Emilia Romagna by the Viminale to ease tensions. However, there are inconsistencies in the timeline of Bakayoko's death, the conditions at the center, and the handling of the situation by the cooperative, which is under investigation for alleged mistreatment of migrants and producing false documents. The article raises questions about the adequacy of medical assistance, the overcrowding, and the long wait for asylum documents, suggesting a need for a deeper investigation into the migrants' protests and the cooperative's operations.

L'articolo esamina le controversie che circondano l'elezione di Papa Francesco, al secolo Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Viene messo in luce il suo passato di opposizione al kirchnerismo e alle politiche sociali in Argentina, così come le sue posizioni conservatrici contro l'aborto e i matrimoni gay. L'articolo si concentra in particolare sulle accuse di connivenza di Bergoglio con il regime dittatoriale di Videla negli anni '70, citando il lavoro investigativo del giornalista argentino Horacio Verbitsky. Verbitsky sostiene che Bergoglio avrebbe nascosto prigionieri politici e avrebbe avuto un ruolo nell'arresto e nella tortura di due sacerdoti gesuiti. L'articolo discute anche la reazione negativa di gruppi per i diritti umani e LGBTQ+ all'elezione di Bergoglio e presenta diverse prospettive sulla sua figura, rimanendo incerto sulla verità delle accuse.

L'articolo analizza la diffusione di notizie e immagini false o non verificate, in particolare quelle relative a presunti abusi commessi da soldati statunitensi nella prigione di Abu Ghraib in Iraq. Viene esaminata la provenienza di alcune foto incriminate, che sono state diffuse da vari siti web, tra cui express-news.it, noto per la pubblicazione di bufale. L'autore utilizza Google Translate e un motore di ricerca cinese per indagare la veridicità delle immagini e scopre che molte di esse provengono da fonti non affidabili o sono state manipolate per scopi ideologici. Viene citato il caso di Wayne Madsen, un giornalista che ha diffuso foto false di abusi, che in realtà provenivano da un sito pornografico. L'articolo mette in luce la difficoltà di distinguere tra notizie vere e veritiere in un'epoca di disinformazione diffusa.
